[SOLVED] No sound in Chromium/Flash

Hello all,

Not sure when, but all of a sudden, I don't have sound on the web. I run Arch 64 w/Chromium, and I no longer have audio on Youtube, or other sites that produce audio, I can no longer watch movie trailers.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound in Chromium/Flash

It seems to me that after every reboot I need to go into alsamixer and mute all channels then unmute all channels. I'm still looking into it. I'm wondering if it's not set as the default sound card, which I know I set it to when I originally installed Arch.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound in Chromium/Flash

had the same problem but only under my account. under my wife's account flash worked. we are using analog output by default and it stopped working suddenly only under my profile. alsamixer - everything enabled, unmuted etc. in both profiles no .asoundrc. so I compared our profiles and found the difference. in ~/.pulse/*-default-sink and *-default-source I had alsa_output.pci-xxxxxxx-HDMI-stereo but my wife had alsa_output.pci-xxxxxxx-analog-stereo. I changed it to analog and after re-logon flash works like a charm

I have similar problems. I can't get sound in flash. But smplayer and deadbeef and probably other softwares work.And after using them to play a video or a piece of music,if I open a new tab containing flash, it works! It looks like running smplayer or deadbeef triggers something.

Re: [SOLVED] No sound in Chromium/Flash

I had this issue in Fedora. I had to open up pavucontrol, press play on a youtube video and then chromium browser volume options opened up on the playback tab...everything was down so I turned it up. This was driving me crazy. Took hours to figure out. Not sure why the chrome volume options only showed up while the video was playing, but hey. Hope this helps someone....I know it's a super old post and is marked as solved, but not everyone was able to solve it the way previously mentioned so I thought I would share.riley
